  • Export disk volume from TrueNas via iSCSI protocol

    We can export an virtual volume (zvol) on TrueNas, thanks to the iSCSI protocol.

    Storage

    Create a pool

    Create a zvol from the pool

    Sharing / Block/Shars (iscsi)

    Target Global Configuration: Modify iqn if necessary

    Portals: Add a portal with IP 0.0.0.0

    Initiators Groups: Add a initiator with feature of “Allow All initiators”

    Authorized Access: No modification

    Targets: Add a target with the above portal id, initiator id

    Extents: Add a extent with created pool/zvol

    Associated Targets: Add an associated target with created target and extent

    Services

    Launch iscsi service, and start it automaticlly

  • FreeNAS

     Two TrueNAS (FreeNAS)  NAS system are setup for the purpose of data backup, including the resumed blog running on ESXi virtual machine, replaced the Buffalo lS-WXL and WdMycloud.

    The benefit of FreeNAS:

    • Based on Freebsd OS, stable
    • Native support ZFS, and snapshot
    • Other professional feature ready

     

    The blog data is backup into the 1st FreeNAS, manually after updating the blog.

    The 1st FreeNas will generate a snapshot every day, thanks to the Periodic Snapshot Task provided by FreeNAS system, and them replicate the snapshot to the 2nd FreeNas machine, also thanks to the Replication Task of freeNas system.

     

    Hardware spec of 1st NAS:

    1. HP T610 plus thin client  ( AMD (G-T56N) 1.65GHz dual core / E350 )
    2. 16GB DDR3  (2 X 8GB)
    3. 32GB Flash driver  for FreeNAS system + 4TB 3.5 HD for data
    4. 10/100/1000  Ethernet

     

        Cost: without Data Disk:

                 AMD T610 Plus                               RMB 185
                 Power:19V4.74  7.4*5.0mm         RMB 30

    Hardware spec of 2st NAS:

    1. HP Z220 MT workstation
    2. 32GB DRR3 ECC RAM
    3. Intel G3250T CPU
    4. One USB key for FreeNAS system + 10T HD for data

     

    The Raid sub-system is not a best choice.

    As Home User, we don’t care about the data lost, or data server down in a short period of time.  That’s way we two NAS system / Data replication instead of raid sub-system.
